Galaxy Eyes

Şarkı Sözleri

[Intro] Rain on the window, name on the page Small room, big hurt, learning to age [Verse 1] He grew up where the sirens never slept at night Gunshots in the distance, people dying out of sight Broken little house, full of anger and fights He learned to read the room before he learned to write Mama worked doubles, came home carrying storms He kept his little sister warm beneath his worn-out clothes Every slammed door taught him how to disappear Every empty promise left a quiet kind of fear At school they saw the temper, never asked where it began Marked him as a problem, put a number on his hand He swallowed every question, kept his head below the glass While a thousand heavy thoughts kept running laps [Pre-Chorus] If you looked a little closer, past the guarded face You would see a constellation no one could erase [Chorus] Galaxy eyes, shining through the rain Trying to hide all the hurt and pain Everybody saw a kid they could blame Nobody knew what was burning in his brain Galaxy eyes, looking up at the sky In a world full of darkness he was trying to survive He smiled for the world but cried inside Those galaxy eyes never lost their light [Verse 2] He found an old notebook underneath the kitchen sink Started filling every margin with the things he couldn’t speak Turned the fear into a language, turned the anger into lines Made a little room inside his chest where hope could stay alive Some nights he walked for hours with his hood pulled to his chin Past the corner where his best friend never made it home again He carried all the questions like a chain beneath his shirt Still he chose to keep on moving, though the moving always hurt One teacher heard the rhythm underneath the rough reply Said, “You don’t have to be the worst thing people decide” That sentence hit the locked door, made the hinges start to bend For the first time he imagined life could turn a corner then [Pre-Chorus] If you looked a little closer, past the guarded face You would see a constellation no one could erase [Chorus] Galaxy eyes, shining through the rain Trying to hide all the hurt and pain Everybody saw a kid they could blame Nobody knew what was burning in his brain Galaxy eyes, looking up at the sky In a world full of darkness he was trying to survive He smiled for the world but cried inside Those galaxy eyes never lost their light [Bridge] Now he tells the younger ones, “Your scars are not your name” “You are more than every room that made you feel ashamed” He still has hard days, still wakes up shaking sometimes But he learned that broken windows can reflect a thousand skies [Final Chorus] Galaxy eyes, shining through the rain No longer hiding every drop of pain Everybody saw a kid they could blame Now they hear the truth inside his name Galaxy eyes, looking up at the sky He survived the dark and kept his fire alive He smiles for the world, and this time it’s real inside Those galaxy eyes still refuse to lose their light [Outro] Rain on the window, dawn on the wall He was never nothing, he was fighting through it all
